Michael E. Cohen digs deeper into some of the concepts in his new Take Control book, Apple Interface Mysteries in the second half of our conversation. Again, he draws on past experience to explain how some of the interface elements we all know came about, and why they aren’t always as intuitive as we would like. Be sure to watch past the end credits for some bonus material that might just give you a new perspective on interfaces and how to learn them.

Macworld's "iTunes Guy," Kirk McElhearn, brings you up to date on ongoing iTunes problems, and also gives you the full story behind the recent Flashback malware outbreak that reportedly infected up to 600,000 Macs before Apple released a Java security update to fix the problem. From TidBITS and Take Control Books, Michael E. Cohen speaks about the Department of Justice's antitrust lawsuit against Apple and five major book publishers for alleged price fixing. Macworld Senior Editor Dan Frakes also discusses the Department of Justice antitrust action, along with iTunes syncing problems and other issues, plus the best way to recharge your new iPad, which has heftier power needs because of the Retina Display and other components.
